I tried to upgrade this blog to WordPress 3.2 and ran into various difficulties. After a little bit of effort, it seems to be back up and running again. If history is any guide, however, there will be glitches I’ll need to iron out over the next few days. So be patient. Thanks.

Sexuality Debate
I really enjoyed Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. In fact, I liked it so much, I subscribed to his blog at donaldmilleris.com. That’s where I just noticed this article. It’s a bit dated, and it’s about Eddie Long, who I’d never heard of until a month ago. But I’m posting it because I think it ties in with our denomination’s never-ending battle about human sexuality.
I encourage you to read the whole thing. Here’s something to get you started:
In my opinion, the reason Christians become marginalized for being open about their homosexuality is because of people like, well, Ted Haggard and Eddie Long. And not because both men have been accused of being gay. It’s because both men actually created the attitude that judges them in the first place.
Public: Gay Relations “Morally Acceptable”
There’s a lot to think about in a new Gallup survey about gay relations:
Americans’ support for the moral acceptability of gay and lesbian relations crossed the symbolic 50% threshold in 2010. At the same time, the percentage calling these relations “morally wrong” dropped to 43%, the lowest in Gallup’s decade-long trend.
Notice this is for “moral acceptability.” Legality is a separate question, and polls several points higher. Also interesting is that gay marriage is still opposed by a (slight) majority.
